Right after Selene told Prince Alcyd about her coming birthday,

A panic ensued…

​​

Prince Alcyd called for Kassandra and demanded for her cooperation.

Kassandra hesitated to help at first but knowing that a powerful being like Prince Alcyd's mate may fall into darkness, she could not afford another witch falling into the frenzy of dark power.

A rise of darkness is at the midst of everyone.

The resident witch of the Golden Moon Pack feared that if the rise of darkness will not be stopped, the world will be filled with chaos and destruction.

One of the promises that Kassandra did when she took an oath as an apprentice of the great witch 'Magdeline'.

Her arrival was most awaited in the mansion of the Alpha Prince of the Golden Moon Pack.

"What took you so long, Kassandra? We are in hurry! Tomorrow is the 18th birthday of Selene so we must make the necessary preparations already to ensure her well-being." Prince Alcyd could not contain his worry for his mate.

Everyone, except the elite officers and the warriors of Prince Alcyd, was asked to leave the mansion for two straight days.

The mansion was secured just in case for worst case scenario.

While everyone was busy and pre-occupied with different tasks of barricading the mansion surrounding the premises of the mansion with sealing materials based on the orders of Kassandra, in order to keep a dark force within the mansion and preventing it from escaping,

Selene was watching everyone panic including Prince Alcyd.

She wanted to ask everyone badly but her spirit wolf comforted her obliviousness.

'What is wrong with everybody? I just told them that it is my birthday tomorrow and in an instant everyone went panic mode.' Selene telling her spirit wolf while sitting on the couch of Prince Alcyd in the main office.

'Of course, you will turn 18 tomorrow. It is very important! I bet they are planning your birthday party. I mean -OUR- birthday party. I forgot sometimes that you and I share one body…' giggled by the spirit wolf of Selene.

'No … I have a feeling there is more to it … I think there is something they are not telling me so that I will not worry.' Selene tells her spirit wolf about her thoughts.

'Do not over think, just let them surprise you! Be obedient for a change and do complain. If we are told to stay put in the main office and not go outside then we must follow.'

There was no reply from Selene as she stayed cool and patient in the main office of Prince Alcyd.

Athena and Jane were tasked to look after Selene after everyone went ahead to the conference room of the mansion.

"What is happening? Kindly someone tell me already." Selene looking at Athena and Jane.

Athena was looking guilty for not telling Selene what was happening, and then she looked at Jane whom she was hoping to have answers to Selene's query.

"Oh, do not look at me Athena! I ain't telling Selene anything. If you want to tell her badly and defy Prince Alcyd then be my guest." Jane stood up from her seat and avoided any eye contacts from Selene and Athena.

"Do not worry Selene! Prince Alcyd will soon tell you everything. They just have to make sure everything is secure and ready. Then they will explain everything." Athena trying to appease the concern of their future Luna.

But it did not stop Selene from getting more curious, "Secure what? Ready for what? I am starting to feel uncomfortable with all this sudden secrets and things that you do not want to tell me. If no one will tell me then I will try to find it out myself."

Both Athena and Jane became nervous with Selene's eagerness.

Gladly, her spirit wolf interrupted and appeared out of the blue once again.

'Maybe they are preparing a surprise for you since you planned something for Prince Alcyd's birthday. So, it is only right that they do something close to it. Meaning, reciprocation of the efforts you did last time is only right.' Further pointed out by her own spirit wolf.

The future Luna of the Golden Moon Pack is trying to figure out the actions of her own mate.

Meanwhile,

In the conference room of the mansion…

Prince Alcyd is gathered with his other officers and Kassandra.

"Everything is already has been set-up per your request." Garrett told Kassandra who is currently thinking about the plan for the birthday of Selene.

"By the midnight, the mark of her 18th birthday, her ascension will take place. This will mark a choice for her whether she will be a light or dark witch." Kassandra elaborated about the ascension of a witch.

Each of them became nervous to the possibility if Selene chose to become a dark witch.

Unimaginable damage and havoc she may cause because her ability to control all elements is unprecedented among witches.

So, Kassandra intended to contain the possibility of her being dark.

"And if she chooses to be dark." A sudden question of Prince Alcyd who is looking worried for Selene as he stands in the center of everyone.

"Do not worry, I will not kill her. But you need to help me seal her magic away. FOR GOOD!" Kassandra discloses to the Alpha Prince regarding her full plan in the ascension of Selene.

A sigh of relief was released by Prince Alcyd after hearing that Selene will not be harmed and Kassandra is only planning to seal the magic in her if Selene chooses to be dark.

"Okay, as long as she does not get harmed. Where will the ceremony of ascension take place?" asked by the curious friend of Selene, Freddie.

"Hopefully, at the garden of the mansion." Kassandra's reply.

"Now, the only thing left is tell Selene about everything that is soon to happen." Garrett informed Prince Alcyd.

=============

[-Minutes after the preparation-]

Finally, Selene was briefed about the situation of her ascension and why Prince Alcyd had to make her the last person to know about it.

Prince Alcyd did not want Selene to worry anything or scare her.

The mate of the Alpha Prince took it calmly and gracefully without reacting badly.

Though she was surprised to know about the ascension and other plans that they have prepared just in case for the worst case scenario. Everything was disclosed to Selene and she took everything with so much grace and level of understanding.

…

…

They led Selene to the garden while Prince Alcyd holds her hand.

"I am sorry if I kind of panicked and kept you out of the loop. This is something that I do not want you to worry about." Prince Alcyd explained to Selene as they walk their way towards the garden.

"Just promise me, that next time do not keep anything from me. You do not have to worry about me. I am strong and I am not a fragile soul." Selene said to her mate while holding his hand tightly.

"Easy for you to say because the thought of losing you or even not being with you scares the hell out of me. I fear it … the most … because you are the most important part of me now." After admitting it to Selene.

Both stopped their tracks and Selene held her mate's face.

Under the bright full moon, she held Prince Alcyd's face and looked him into his eyes.

"Nothing will happen to me and I will not leave your side! Because you are the most important part of me now as well …" Selene admitted her own feelings too.

A smile formed in Prince Alcyd's face and could not help but hear the reason behind Selene's honest words, "Why am I the most important part of you now?"

Selene smiled along with Prince Alcyd and told him, "… Because you have occupied my heart!"

At that moment…

Everyone became a witness to the kiss that sealed their acceptance towards each other's feelings.

Only whistling and cheers could be heard as they see the two kiss at the garden.

Nothing mattered as they kissed passionately under the bright moon while being surrounded by light bugs all over the place.

The time stood still as they shared and pour their feelings towards each other.

"Oh, come on love birds! Let us get to work. We have things to do. Do your lovey dovey moment later." Kassandra interrupted the Alpha Prince and Selene.

Sylvia, the spirit wolf of Selene, did not like the interruption of the resident witch.

'Selene, one day will you let me kill her?' Sylvia requested from Selene.

But Selene just ignored her spirit wolf and went ahead to the circle that was prepared by Kassandra herself.

A circle of white stones with some enchantment spell was made around the circle to ensure the sealing plan of Kassandra just in case the worst case scenario occurs.

…

As Selene stood in the middle of circle,

Midnight has finally commenced …

The platinum-haired tribrid closed her eyes and waited for the expected ascension to take place.
